Welcome.
AWAKENING. You're asleep, and the first thing you're aware of is the pulse. It comes quickly, flooding through your system and jolting you awake; the room you're in is dimly-lit but the bed you're in is soft, and while all of this is jarring you'll soon become rather aware that you aren't going through this alone. The room you're in is lined with beds not unlike the one you're in; you'll be able to hear other people stirring, coming awake as they respond to the pulse too, and... ...And it will soon become evident that whatever just happened, something is wrong. Whatever your response may be to waking up in a low-lit room full of people is going to be highly amplified, the emotion rubbing your nerves raw in a way that makes you feel like you're experiencing it for the first time, and whenever you manage to sit up, you'll feel something...strange on your head, tickling the sides of your face, and as you turn your head a little you'll catch a glimpse of an odd, synthetic-looking green. A wig...? Your clothes, too, are different from whatever you remember last (because whatever you remember last, it wasn't this room, it wasn't this place - ); they feel warm, designed to withstand cold weather, and if you throw the blankets off at any point (or even just pause to look beneath them) you'll be greeted with an outfit made of thick material that's alternating parts black and white and glossy silver, with an emblem inscribed on the chest - a G inscribed in gold and black. Whatever's happening here, you aren't given much time to dwell on it; everyone here seems about as confused as you are. There are twenty-four of you in the room altogether, and you're all going through the same thing; whatever you're experiencing, the door is closed, so at least you're experiencing it in relative privacy. For now. It isn't long before a voice can be heard, soft but agitated-sounding, as though trying very hard to not awaken everyone in the building; it sounds like a man, and you can hear his footfalls pause just outside your door as he speaks to someone else, voice soft and androgynous. "And you're sure they're gone?" "Yes, Commander." "And don't you think something should be done about that...?" "Right away, sir." With that, the man and whomever he was speaking to can be heard parting ways, one moving rapidly down a corridor and the other pausing, shifting a bit before eventually moving on himself. You have several options. I. You can sit here for a while and get to know each other, seeing as none of you know what happened. That might be a good idea, all things considered, and as long as the door remains closed there's no rush. It's the middle of the night, after all, and it isn't as though anyone is going to come looking - despite the urgent conversation outside, there isn't any alarm going off, nor is there any reason for most of the building to be on high alert. II. You can explore the building. Should you do that, you'll find several winding corridors leading to what look like dorms, with several rooms containing sleeping people and areas such as formal break rooms; exploring a little further will let you find conference rooms and other large, empty spaces that don't seem to have much of a purpose. There are signs and notices in several places referring to "Team Galactic" and its protocol, all adorned with the same emblem that's on your clothes. Some of these corridors also lead to doors that are, unfortunately, locked and staying that way; some of them lead to people dressed exactly like you, bizarre wig and all. They seem to be a little strange, however; they'll greet you, and they'll speak to you if spoken to, but they look odd and dead behind the eyes and there's not much to their answers, and asking them about preferences or any personal information will just net you a blank stare. It's going to be a long strange journey through the building, but at least you're traveling light; you don't seem to have any belongings with you - save for the outfit you woke up in and the red and white capsule attached to your belt... III. You can also pause to try to figure out what's going on with those capsules. They each contain something very important to you, after all - a creature that seems to have been assigned to you specifically. They don't seem to have anything on them indicating a name or another person that owns them, at any rate, so it's probably safe to assume it's yours. That said, something seems decidedly wrong with it - it seems alarmingly apathetic, the look in its eyes dull and resigned as opposed to alert and emotive, and while it's willing to follow you (it's almost a bit too willing to follow you, it will stay close by your side in the manner of a dog trained to heel if you try to walk away from it) it doesn't seem to be due to any sort of genuine affection. It's all very...sterile, for lack of a better term. Welcome to Sinnoh. Glory to Team Galactic. [OOC: Welcome to Azume! Feel free to use this log to get to know one another iCly; you can use the prompts given or come up with your own, though for now you're confined to the building. The Commanders are currently not present in the building (anywhere that you can find them, anyway). For now, have fun getting your bearings.] |

[Right? Unless this is some kinda weird riddle...]
I mean uh...people or things that live even farther than the sky! Up where the stars are, and stuff...you know, those kinda aliens? Definitely not the team, aha ha ha...
[And you were doing so well, too.]
no subject
[ That said!! THAT!! Said!! ]
- I've never heard of people of the stars though!
no subject
[Color him confused.]
I've never heard of those, either! Although, I guess I've never really heard of real aliens, actually, but there's tons of stories about them and people are always wondering if they're real or not...
no subject
-But you said a team is named for them. Is that to evoke the mystery of the aliens?
[ That makes sense to her. ]
no subject
[He chuckles weakly.]
I think so? They came from America, and they were named off that big company that studies space called NASA, so I guess they called themselves the Aliens to do that? I never really got the chance to ask them before we all split up...and I heard they call themselves the Shuttles now anyway, so I guess they're not called that anymore?
no subject
... I may need to study more. Even the concept of what this NASA does I can't seem to wrap my head around. They study the stars, do you mean?
no subject
Yeah...they study stars, and other planets, and space itself, or something like that? It's stuff that really smart people would do, or something...
no subject
[ But okay!! Point!! ]
But- might I ask your name?
screams how did i miss this in the sea of notifs
[As you can see, a scholar Sena is not.]
Er, it's Sena! And yours is...?
no subject
[ . . oh. People not knowing her... by appearance. So weird. uh - ] But my name is Zelda.
no subject
[To be fair...they kind of all look the same right now...]
But...you said Hyrule? I haven't heard of that place, either!
no subject
You... you do not? [ Well that. Confirms that ] Ah, no it's a pleasure to meet you as well. Hyrule is my home.
no subject
Oh, I see...so we really must have all been taken from very different places, then...
no subject
[ Which... weird. ]
We could be anywhere.
no subject
no subject
Yes, we should - let's go.
[ to which, with a smile, she's heading to the door ]
no subject
[He'll follow her.]
We'll split up to cover more ground, right?
no subject
[ So they can cover for each other, right? ]
no subject
[Like in those horror movies...when they split up, then they get cornered by weird aliens one at a time, and get whisked up into space and turned into soulless robots through intense experimentation and, and and...
Wait, hasn't this happened already?]
Okay, we can do that, too! Although... [He motions to her hair.] Maybe you should put that thing back on for now? Even if it is kinda...
[Weird? Creepy? Blue???]
no subject
[ OKA--Y! She'll just... go get her wig to put it back on. She left it on the bed because it was uncomfortable. She holds up a hand to have Sena wait and flutters back over there, a little embarrassed. She's back quick enough with it on, though it fits weird with all her hair. ]
T-there! Would that we had some Sheikah clothing though, honestly...
no subject
[Aaaand another weird thing Sena doesn't know about to add to the list.]
You really know about a lot of different things...
no subject
[ She shifts, a little awkward ]
no subject
[Sena's starting to wonder, really.]
I'm starting to get the feeling that Hyrule's more than just a different country that I haven't seen before...
no subject
I have never been beyond it, so I cannot speak for the wider world but... I wonder the same, honestly.
